Describe the bug
Attempting to play a LiveTV/m3u8 source via DLNA fails when selecting a specific item to watch. Browsing and traversing folders works fine. Choosing an item from a Movie or Recording library will play the content as normal.

To Reproduce

  1. Go to Jellyfin on Samsung TV (or VLC)
  2. Click on 'LiveTV' (m3u8 source)
  3. Select "ABC News Digital"
  4. See error on TV ("An Unexpected Error has occurred")

Expected behavior
Video content should play on TV via DLNA

Since this is not fixed yet, only the exception, I'd suggest opening a new issue with new logs.

@Bond-009 I've already opened #2164 to address the missing listing - unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much interesting to go on...

I'm not able to repro the m3u8 issue because there aren't any media items to select for it to fail playing.
